Appeal after "frail" dog found in field in east end of Glasgow

The Scottish SPCA is appealing for information after a "frail" elderly dog was found lying in a field in the east end of Glasgow.

The male Staffordshire bull terrier cross was discovered on November 20 next to their home on Crowlin Crescent.

The dog, named Tyro, is now being cared for at the charity's Dunbartonshire rescue centre.

Scottish SPCA centre manager, Judy Button, said, “The brindle and white staffie cross came to us as a stray on the 20 November, and we are appealing to anyone who might know him or recognise him.

“He is microchipped to the Dumfries area, but unfortunately the phone number is incorrect. According the microchip, his name is Tyro.

“Tyro is a friendly, older dog and is sadly quite frail. He is estimated to be 11 years old.

“We are only able to hold animals as strays for seven days while we try and trace their owners, and after this time as long as they don’t need additional care or treatment they are made available for rehoming.

“We are urging anyone with any information about this dog to contact our confidential animal helpline on 03000 999 999.”
